Weekend cruises provide an opportunity to visit a number of other Clubs and make friends around the lake. This is one area of boating which attracts power as well as sail boats. ABYC has a reputation for looking after its visitors, and as such, ABYC members are always welcome at other Clubs.
Cruises are organized each season. Details about the cruise locations, organizers, dates of skippers’ meetings etc. can be found on the Notice Board in the Communications Room. Sign up early for organized cruises because there is a maximum number of boats which can be accommodated on each cruise.
2012 Cruising Schedule
Several of the shorter cruises will be used as opportunities to test cruisers sailing ability. There will be a ‘MAN OVERBOARD!’ competition as well as a navigation competition. Prizes will be offered.Sign-up sheets will be posted on the notice board before launch. Because the host clubs need to know the number and size of visiting boats a week ahead of time, these lists will removed on the Saturday before each cruise. Members who are signed up and who are unable to attend are asked to notify the Cruise Host of their change of plans. Members who have not signed up and who wish to attend may do so, but dock-space will be first allocated to signed member’s boats, and space for latecomers will be subject to availability.
